🌿 When your skin is inflamed, irritated, or uncomfortable — acupuncture can help calm it from within.

Skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, rosacea, itching, flaking, boils, or lingering scars can be both physically uncomfortable and emotionally draining. For many people, flare-ups are closely linked to stress, digestion, hormones, and immune imbalance.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the skin reflects what’s happening internally. When heat, inflammation, or stagnation builds beneath the surface, the skin often becomes reactive. Acupuncture works gently to reduce inflammation, support circulation, and calm the nervous system, helping to ease:

✨ Itching and irritation
✨ Redness and flare-ups
✨ Dry, flaky, or inflamed skin
✨ Stress-related skin reactions
✨ Slow healing or scar sensitivity

With over 35 years of clinical experience, Joanna offers personalised treatments that look beyond the surface — supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and rebalance from the inside out.

📍 Based in Herefordshire, Joanna provides a calm, respectful space for adults and children seeking natural support for ongoing skin concerns.

💬 Do you notice your skin flares during stress, hormonal changes, or digestive upset?

✨ When pain takes over your head and senses — acupuncture can help you find clarity again.

If you live with migraines, chronic headaches, fainting spells, eye strain, or neurological conditions such as epilepsy or convulsions, daily life can feel unpredictable and overwhelming. These symptoms affect far more than the head — they can impact focus, sleep, mood, and overall wellbeing.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, headaches and neurological symptoms often arise from disruptions in the body’s energy flow, circulation, and stress pathways. By calming the nervous system and releasing tension, acupuncture can help ease:

✨ Migraines and chronic headaches
✨ Tension behind the eyes or vision disturbances
✨ Stress-driven neurological symptoms
✨ Light-headedness or fainting tendencies
✨ Overactivity of the nervous system

Joanna draws on 35+ years of clinical and nursing experience to tailor each treatment, helping clients move from pain and overwhelm toward balance, relaxation, and clearer mental space.

📍 Based in Herefordshire, Joanna provides a calm, supportive environment for anyone struggling with persistent head, nerve, or sensory symptoms.

💬 Do your symptoms worsen with stress, exhaustion, or screen time?

❤️ When your heart feels heavy — emotionally or physically — acupuncture can help restore balance.

Do you ever feel your heart race, flutter, skip a beat, or tighten when life becomes overwhelming?
Symptoms like palpitations, A.F, missed beats, chest discomfort, faint spells, or a constant sense of unease can feel frightening — and they often intensify during times of grief, heartbreak, or loss of joy.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Heart is not only responsible for circulation — it is the centre of emotion, peace, and inner brightness. When emotional stress builds, the Heart’s energy can become unsettled, leading to both physical and emotional symptoms such as:

✨ Palpitations
✨ Racing or irregular pulses
✨ Chest tightness
✨ Faintness
✨ Emotional heaviness
✨ Feeling disconnected or joyless

Joanna brings 35+ years of clinical experience to each treatment, blending nursing expertise with compassionate acupuncture care to help calm the nervous system, steady the heart, and gently support emotional healing.

📍 Based here in Herefordshire, Joanna offers a warm, safe space for those navigating both physical heart symptoms and emotional pain.

💬 Have you noticed your heart symptoms feel stronger during stress or emotional times?

🌬️ Do you ever feel short of breath — as if you can’t quite fill your lungs? 🫁

For those living with asthma, COPD, shallow breathing, or persistent coughs (wet or dry), every breath can feel like a struggle.

Through gentle, targeted acupuncture, Joanna helps support the lungs, diaphragm, and body’s natural energy flow, improving oxygenation and easing the tightness that comes with chronic breathing difficulties.

Acupuncture has been shown to help relax airway muscles, reduce inflammation, and calm the nervous system — allowing your body to breathe more freely and deeply.

✨ Each treatment is tailored to your unique pattern, helping you move from tension and wheezing toward calm, balanced breathing.

📍 Based here in Herefordshire, Joanna combines decades of clinical experience in both nursing and Traditional Chinese Medicine to support your respiratory health naturally.

💬 Have you noticed your breathing changes with the seasons or stress levels?
